MONOPRICE
1000W Power Inverter
SAFETY WARNINGS AND GUIDELINES
 Place the inverter in a well-ventilated environment.
 Ensure that the cooling fan is not blocked and that it operates as intended. Do
not use the inverter if the fan fails to operate.
 Do not expose the inverter to excessive heat. Keep it out of direct sunlight and
away from heat sources.
 Keep out of reach of children.
 Do not expose the inverter to water or moisture of any kind. Do not place items
containing liquid on or near this device.
 Do not expose the inverter to oil or grease.
 Ensure that the inverter is positioned in a stable location so that there is no risk of
it falling.
 Ensure that power switch on the inverter is in the OFF position when making or
breaking electrical connections.
 Always power on the inverter before switching on any connected electrical
appliances/devices. Starting the inverter with a load can severely damage the
inverter.
 Disconnect the inverter when it is not in use.
 Power off and disconnect the inverter and your appliances when starting your
vehicle's engine.
 Power off and disconnect the inverter and your appliances when using a battery
charger to charge the battery.
 Do not connect the inverter to a vehicle's battery while the vehicle's engine is
running.
 Do not use an extension cable on the input side of the inverter. You may use a
heavy duty, large gauge extension cable up to 100 feet long (30 meters) on the
output side of the inverter.
 This inverter outputs a modified sine wave. Some devices do not work properly
or can be damaged when powered by modified sine wave voltage. Ensure that
your appliance/device can be operated safely with a modified sine wave before
connecting it to the inverter.

GROUNDING CONSIDERATIONS
There is a screw terminal labelled CHASSIS GND on the rear panel of the Inverter. This
terminal is connected to the case of the AC output socket. The use of this terminal will
depend on your particular installation. In any installation, heavy duty, green insulated
wire should be used for this connection.
In a stationary land based installation, the earth terminal should be connected to a metal
earthing stake driven into the ground to a depth of 4 feet (1.2m) or more, if the battery
system powering the inverter does not have a connection to ground, one of the battery
terminals (commonly the negative terminal) should also be connected to the earthing
stake.
In a vehicle where the inverter is wired directly to the battery, the earth terminal is
simply connected to the vehicle on a temporary basis and will be powered via the
cigarette lighter socket in the vehicle, the earth terminal should be connected via a short
link to either the negative or positive DC input terminal of the inverter, depending on
whether the vehicle has a negative or positive chassis connection. However when using
the Inverter to power equipment used outside the vehicle, an earthing stake should also
be used, as described above.
In a boat, the earth terminal should be connected to the existing grounding system,
which may be the hull of the craft, or a network of ground wires.

SAFETY SHUT DOWN
 If the total wattage of attached devices exceeds the inverter's capacity, it will
automatically shut down.
 The inverter will automatically shut down if the temperature of the device
exceeds 149°F (65°C).
 The inverter will automatically shut down after about 5 minutes of operation after
the low-battery warning beep is first sounded.
LOW BATTERY WARNING
The inverter monitors the voltage level of the battery it is connected to and will start to
beep when the voltage level gets too low. When it beeps, power off and disconnect the
inverter and your appliances, then start your vehicle or use a battery charger to
recharge the battery.
This leaves your vehicle's battery at about 10.5V. It is recommended to run your vehicle
for about 10 to 20 minutes every 2 to 3 hours of inverter operation, which allows the
battery to recharge for continued operation.

OPERATION
This inverter needs to be connected directly to the battery source. Use a pair of large
gauge cables (not included) for the connection.
1. Ensure that the power switch on the inverter is in the OFF position.
2. Connect the cables to the Input terminals on the power inverter. Connect the
black cable to the black/- terminal. Connect the red cable to the red/+ terminal.
Tighten the terminal lugs to ensure that the cables are securely connected.
3. Connect the black cable to the black/- terminal on the battery or to a grounding
point on the vehicle's chassis.
4. Connect the red cable to the red/+ terminal on the battery.
5. Ensure that power switch for your electrical appliance/device is in the OFF
position.
6. Plug your electrical appliance/device into the AC power output socket on the
inverter.
7. Switch the inverter ON.
8. Power on your electrical appliance/device.
WARNING! Never turn on the inverter with a load connected. Always ensure that any
connected device is switched off before powering on the inverter.
WARNING! Because electric motors draw huge amounts of power when starting up, do
not connect any device with a motor or compressor (such as a drill, refrigerator, or air
conditioning unit) that normally requires more than 333 watts of power to this inverter.
Devices with higher power requirements would exceed the inverter's rated capacity
when starting up.
